James D. Kuhn Real Estate Center

The James D. Kuhn Real Estate Center serves as an inspirational catalyst for faculty activities in the discipline of real estate, gives students the opportunity to integrate their education in finance with an education in real estate, and provides real estate professionals with indispensable training and resources to support and facilitate research on real estate.

The Kuhn Center was made possible by a generous donation from Whitman alumnus James D. Kuhn ’70 BS ’72 MBA, president of Newmark Knight Frank, the fourth largest global real estate brokerage firm in the world.
